8)Cannot Find My Recordings in the Recorder
When first opened, the device will first read the Music Folder. Press STOP to switch back to recordings folder. The recorder can also be connected back to the computer to check whether there are recordings in the
recorder disk.

9)Turn On Voice Activated Function
Go to Menu -> Up/Down button to Record Setting -> press M -> Up/Down to Voice Activated Setting -> press M -> select AVR mode, and press M to confirm.
Now press REC. You will see VOR on the screen which means voice activated recording function is set.

10)How to Use the AVR Mode (Voice Activated
Function) When AVR mode is selected, the device will only pick up a loud enough decibel sound or voice. Adjust the voice activated sensitivity in record setting. Select the AVR level to get the best effect for voice
activated recording. For the L157 voice recorder, the AVR level can be selected from 1 -5. The lower number requires a higher decibel voice to activate the recorder. In other words, a louder voice. At level 5, the recorder is very sensitive and will pick up quiet speaking.

Note: When the voice activated function is ON, press REC. Device will record 3 seconds to check if the recorder is correctly entered into recording mode. It will only pick up loud enough decibels of voice /
sound

(11) Recorder Not Recording
Check to see if the recording light is blinking. Additionally, see if VOR is on the screen. If VOR is on the screen and light is blinking, it means the voice activated function is ON. During this setting,
it will only record when a high enough decibel sound is detected. You may go to Record Setting, find AVR sensitivity, and adjust. Turn off the AVR mode if this function is not needed

(12) Why Does Recorder Playback in Random?
Go to Play setting, close the shuffle function.

(13) How to Use the A-B Repeat Function
During playback, press down M (menu). A appears on the screen and B blinks. Recorder selected the start point. Press down M again, select B. Now recorder will playback between Point A to B.

(14) The Recording Has Unwanted Noise
Avoid recording near a computer, electric fan, air conditioner, or sound bar that will cause noise. The recorder will pick up this static noise.

(15) The Recorder Auto Shuts Down While
Recording This happens when the sleeper time function is ON. When operating the device, or recording, or playing music/recordings, the sleep timer function will force a shut down on the device.
Go to System setting – > sleeper time. Select OFF and confirm. This closes the sleep time function. You can also try to restore the recorder to factory settings when this happens if you’re not sure how to set
the sleep time.

(16) Cannot Shut Off My Voice Recorder
When the recorder is charging, or connected to computer, even if the POWER BUTTON ON/OFF is at OFF position, recorder will still be ON. The voice recorder cannot be shut off because the voice recorder
is directly getting power from the charging socket or computer.

(17) How to format the recorder
Press M (menu), enter menu options. Select System Setting, press M to enter. Select Format Device, Press M to enter. Enter Format Disk, select Yes. Press M to confirm and start formatting. After formatting
is completed, all files on the recorder will be deleted, and all storage (8GB or 16GB storage) will be available on voice recorder again.
Note: Do not shut off the device during disk format

(18) Space is full
When the storage space is full, connect to a computer, copy recordings, and save them to the computer. Delete all the recordings from the voice recorder. The voice recorder has a limited storage at 8GB or 16GB. After a while of using, the recorder may be full and needs to be backed up onto a computer. Note: Do not cut off recordings from recorder to computer. This will cause an unsuccessful transfer, and the files cannot be deleted from the recorder successfully
